lupin's ass

There was an earlier design for Bowletta found in the prototype! She looks a lot more like Bowser, but has sunken-in eyes and more of a mohawk. She has quite a few early animations, and you can kind of see how these eventually became her final design.

Laughing

Angry (I could only find the side sprite)

Shocked

Shocked & pointing

Left: in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, Vivian is almost always seen smiling during regular gameplay on the overworld, such as during the animation of pulling Mario into the shadows.

Right: however, when releasing Mario from the shadows at the end of the overworld ability animation, for a few frames, Vivian is seen frowning before going back to smiling. Due to both characters being deformed by the emerging animation during this, it is very difficult to notice during gameplay. This may imply that Vivian is briefly sad about having to let go of Mario.

the higher ups and investors on sites like this want infinite growth forever. this is why they keep changing the layout to make it look like other, more popular sites, even though we hate it. this is why they try out shit like tumblr live that doesn't appeal to the established core userbase in the slightest. it's not for us. it's also not for the ~5% of active users (if the poll going around is to be believed) who signed up within the last year. no, they're chasing after the hundreds of millions of people who use twitter and the BILLIONS of people who use tiktok, hoping to appeal to them and make tumblr more popular again
